Sahams in Vedic Astrology

By Agastya

Agasthya says, “The sensitive points seem to have rulership over a certain department of life just as the ascendant has over the body or the Sun has over father, political power.

The Tajak system of Astrology, (which has been expounded in Varshaphal or the Hindu Progressed Horoscope by Dr. B. V. Raman) is unique in its own way and whilst making a definite departure from the Parasari system is yet an integral part of it. In fact, the Tajak method marks a transition between the Hindu and Western systems of Astrology. It was propounded by the indian sages, developed by arabian scholars and later on completely absorbed into the Ptolemaic precepts. Thus when the western astrologers talk of the so-called 'sensitive points' they are not suggesting any improvements over the astrological lore they have but are in reality admitting the truth of an important but little known branch of astrological knowledge of the hindus which rightly merits serious attention of all thinkers.

The ancients have rightly insisted that one must take into account whether the birth is a day birth or a night birth. The Sun's position above or below the horizon settles this question.
